The Gutenberg press was an influential development during the Renaissance and Reformation. In this task, you’ll analyze the exte

nt of its influence. You’ll also read a short passage that discusses some effects of the Gutenberg press in Europe. Then, you will write a five-paragraph essay. In your essay, you will analyze the passage and argue in support of or against its thesis.
Read the following passage:

The introduction of the Gutenberg press allowed for an increase in the number of books that were printed across Europe. Before the invention of the printing press, only wealthy individuals and members of the clergy had ready access to books. Almost all written works were in Latin. After 1500, however, it became easier for people to find and afford printed books. As a result, literacy rates throughout Europe spiked. The general public was able to access multiple titles across multiple subjects and read these works in their common vernacular. Through reading, people kindled a growing awareness of cultural and political trends on the continent. This shift from an illiterate to a literate public was the single most important development in Europe and was pivotal in the spread of ideas that were so important to the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe.

Now, write a five-paragraph opinion essay. In this essay, argue for or against the thesis of the passage. Parts A, B, C, and D will help you draft your essay. Remember to keep your tone objective and formal. Also, make sure that you include accurate facts and details from the lessons and outside research in your answer.

(i already wrote my argument i just need help with the body paragraphs.)

Next, write three body paragraphs to support your argument. Your paragraphs must include facts from the lessons or outside research.

For body paragraphs, all you need to do is 1. State your reason(Topic-main idea)

2. Explain the relevance to your reason(textual facts examples, etc)

3. Commentary (An explanation of the details and topic sentence)

4. Counter-Argument (the opposing side, explain why they're wrong

5. Concluding statements in the last paragraph about topic and counter-argument  

1 & 2 could be in paragraph one, 3 & 4 can be paragraph two, then 5 could be your last paragraph. Hope this helped a little.

Answer:

Johann Gutenberg invented the modern printing press in the mid-fourteenth century, although the Romans already 400 years B.C. used clay molds and the Chinese in the eleventh century used porcelain pieces to make reproductions. In Europe, during the low middle ages, woodcut was used to print posters and pamphlets.

Gutenberg's merit was to refine existing printing techniques, cast each of the letters of the alphabet separately, and devised a system to put them one after the other and hold them. In this way it could compose pages faster and reuse the molds to compose others. To reproduce the drawings, the woodcut was still used and subsequently hand painted.

In 1452 the printing of the most important work in the world of printing began, the "42-line Bible" or "Gutenberg Bible", marking the beginning of the Printing Age. Of this (named for the number of lines printed on each page) 180 copies were produced (45 on parchment and 135 on paper), a large number of books printed at that time, receiving the name of incunabula, denomination that all books printed before January 1, 1501.

Answer:

Project Portfolio: Financial Awareness

      When deciding to live independently you need to consider all costs that make up a budget. Food budgeting is a necessary part of becoming independent.  Cars and other forms of transportation are costly but essential. Understanding  the true cost of renting a place independently and understanding actual take home income versus gross income will help ensure you do not spend money that you do not have.  Living with your family and living all by yourself is like living on two different planets.   While living on your own is scary, you can develop life skills, time management, and responsibility, which can take you to the next stage of life.

      Budgeting for groceries is necessary to keep my overall budget in check.  The national average for groceries is $151.00 weekly or $604.00 monthly.  My daily meal plan was over  budget, and it is important for me to focus on what I can afford.   If I calculate 10-15% of my income for groceries it should be within my budget.  It is essential to stay on budget when living independent or you could go into debt.  Shopping for groceries can take time at first, comparing the best deals or buying in bulk can really keep my expenses down and help keep my overall budget on track.  This will also help allow extra money for public transportation and save for purchasing a vehicle of my own.  

    Purchasing a vehicle will require research that will fit within my budget.  I am yearning for a Jeep Wrangler X.  The 2011 has the amazing style that I desire, and I believe it would complement my astounding, unique style.  The total cost of $13,950.00 with a down payment of $6,000.00 making the car payment $198.00 monthly.  The vehicle payment and insurance are within budget, however, maintenance, gas, and repairs for this vehicle could end up over budget.  After researching the cost of owning this vehicle, purchasing this vehicle would not be reasonable for me at this time. In conclusion it would be more beneficial to purchase a reasonable vehicle with the money I save of $6000.00 while living with my parents.  It is possible to buy a vehicle for $5000.00 and save the additional $1,000.00 for any emergency repairs and avoid car payments.  

    Housing costs are an expenditure you must include in your budget.  Would love to live in Oceanside, CA., by the sea and to be able to walk around in my bathing suit whenever I want too!  I would choose a studio apartment which has one room, so the bedroom is in the same room as the kitchen and living room, only the bathroom is separate from the living space.  Deciding this will work well within my budget and I would not have to deal with roommates, and also gives me the opportunity to put away savings to eventually purchase a home of my own.  Monthly payment for a studio apartment in Oceanside, CA is $1,375.00, which is a sensible cost for my current budget. Some utilities are included in rent, apart from cable $85.00, internet $60.00, and cell phone of $243.00, and these would be part of the additional cost of rent, which would total $388.00 per month, plus rent of $1,375.00 equaling a total cost of $1,763.00 a month.  

    My wages are a key element to my independence and are necessary for planning my budget.  If I  make $28.00 an hour and work 40 hours, I will make $4,480.00. After deducting taxes of $343.00, it will leave me $4,137.00.  My expenses of $3,386.00 will leave a reserve of $1,094.00.   To be independent, I need to be aware of your income, expenses, and reserves as I can only count on myself.

     

    Lastly, budgeting and being independent puts me on the path to solving many of life’s financial difficulties.  In researching a budget, I have found there are many next steps that I can take towards my goals.  I can live within my finances or make changes to benefit me in years to come.  First, I should have financial goals that I am working towards and create a plan to achieve my goals.  Secondly, I can use cash only because it’s not fun owing money.   Credit cards mean I am not in control of my finances and I believe there is no financial confidence in that.  Thirdly, an emergency fund is essentially for me to set aside to cover any of life's unexpected events. This money will allow me to live for a few months should I happen to lose my job or if emergency funds are needed.  This emergency money which I put aside will offer me easy backup funds if some unfortunate event happens to occur.  In my final thoughts of living with my family or living independently it will take many adjustments and planning.   Living with your parents is like living in a royal palace; you will enjoy the luxuries of an elegant house, clean laundry, and a slightly bigger budget, but you will also have to defer to the king and queen of the realm.  You will quickly discover that if your sovereigns are not happy, neither are you.

Was the Mexican revolution successful? <br><br> One paragraph
mestny [16]

Answer: According to many historians, the revolution was a success.

Explanation:

The Mexican Revolution was bloody and long-lived, killing over 100,000 lives. The literature states that a successful revolution requires four steps. The first is the state of relations in the world the second condition is a political crisis that paralyzes the country, and the third condition is a widespread peasant revolt. In contrast, the fourth condition is the existence of a dissident political movement.

The fact is that the revolution in Mexico has had all of the above. The Mexican Revolution resulted in the overthrow of the old aristocratic, landowning elite, which also lost its political power. One of the main results of the revolution was the redistribution of land ownership, the Catholic Church was stripped of its political and economic power, and the state became a significant factor in regulating relations in society.
